About Atlohsa
Atlohsa Family Healing Services is an Indigenous led non-profit organization in Southwestern Ontario dedicated to empowering Indigenous communities through traditional and land-based healing practices. Since 1986, we have provided low-barrier, wraparound services to individuals and families facing complex challenges such as mental wellness, substance use, homelessness, and domestic violence. Our holistic wellness approach is rooted in the Seven Sacred Grandfather Teachings and the Medicine Wheel Teachings, utilizing a Two-Eyed Seeing approach that emphasizes collaboration, mutual respect, and the recognition that both Indigenous and Western knowledge systems contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the world.

About the Program
Biigajiiskaan is an Indigenous-led mental wellness program that effectively combines traditional healing medicine with Western hospital-based healthcare practices, fostering a holistic approach to care. Developed through a co-lead partnership between Atlohsa Family Healing Services and St. Joseph’s Health Care London, the program aims to enhance services at both the community and hospital levels, acknowledging the Ojibwe concept of renewal and harmony represented by the tree stump that nourishes new life. Addressing the systemic racism and discrimination experienced by Indigenous community members within healthcare institutions, Biigajiiskaan seeks to create a positive experience by integrating traditional healing methods, such as healing circles and ceremonies, with modern mental health services, thereby transforming the journey to mental wellness and improving overall care quality for Indigenous individuals in the London-Middlesex and St. Thomas-Elgin regions.

About the Role
Using a Holistic Indigenous-led approach to principles of patient centered care, and based upon the foundation of best practice, the successful applicant will be responsible for providing case management, appropriate referrals, and culturally appropriate and holistic social services, programs, and resources. The Case Worker will assess and interview clients, record accurate and detailed case notes and develop and maintain sustainable treatment plans and relationships with individuals and their networks of support. The Case Worker will work from a “Culture as Care” framework and will provide support towards a health care approach that combines both Traditional Indigenous Healing from local Indigenous community perspectives and the current treatment modalities being employed within St. Joseph’s hospital and ambulatory care teams. The Case Worker is adept at coordinating and collaborating with the interdisciplinary Biigajiiskaan team toward the achievement of patient centered goals. The successful candidate will provide support to program participants in all areas of mental wellness including but not limited to independent living
skills and behavior management; mental health concerns; addictions issues.
